Wedding Catering
Indian wedding catering in Madison & across Wisconsin
Receptions, rehearsal dinners, sangeet and mehndi — cooked at 444 S. Park St. and delivered, set up, or fully staffed at your venue. Tell us your date and headcount and we’ll build the menu and the quote around it.
What we cater
Every part of the weekend
Most couples book us for more than one event. We can keep the menus different across the weekend so guests never eat the same meal twice.
Sangeet & mehndi
Lighter, snackable menus built for a long night of music — chaat, samosas, pakora, seekh kabob, paneer tikka and chai, replenished as guests come and go.
Rehearsal dinners
A smaller plated or family-style dinner, at your venue or in our dining room on Park Street with the bar open for your party.
Vegetarian & vegan menus
Fully vegetarian menus are normal for us, not a special request. Paneer, chana, dal, aloo and vegetable dishes can be prepared vegan, and Jain-style adjustments are possible — tell us early.

Indian wedding catering — questions & where we travel
We cater weddings across Madison, Dane County and the rest of Wisconsin. Start with the catering quote form or call us with your date.
Do you cater Indian weddings outside Madison?
Yes. We travel statewide for larger events — tell us the city, venue, date and headcount and we'll quote delivery, setup and staffing.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer and fall weekends. Once your date and rough guest count are set, get on our calendar and refine the menu later.
Can the whole menu be vegetarian or vegan?
Yes. Fully vegetarian wedding menus are common for us, and most paneer, dal, chana and vegetable dishes can be prepared vegan. Tell us during planning so we build the menu around it rather than substituting on the day.
Do you staff the buffet or just drop the food off?
Either. Drop-off delivery arrives hot in serving trays, set up and ready. Fully staffed service means our team serves, replenishes and cleans up.
Can you adjust spice levels for a mixed guest list?
Yes — we usually run curries at a medium that suits most guests and bring heat on the side, so anyone who wants it hotter can add it.
Can we host the rehearsal dinner at the restaurant?
Yes. We host rehearsal dinners and smaller wedding events in our dining room, with the full bar open — see private events and buyouts.
Taj is at 444 S. Park St. in Madison, convenient to UW–Madison, downtown and Camp Randall. See our catering service areas for nearby neighborhoods, directions and parking.
